February!

February is a big month for our family. Meredith and Tyler both have birthdays

and we have Valentine's Day. I fell down the garage steps last week so my rear is black and blue..that's why I haven't been on the computer much!! I hope to check back soon!! Happy February!

I love this picture of Zoey with her Sweetheart shirt!

This one is of Meredith and Tyler (turning 16 and 18) at their birthday party. They had 50 people there and both of Tyler's bands played (Hwy. 31 and DIA). They did really well.

We celebrated Meredith's birthday at LaFuente. Zoey looked tooooo adorable in the sombrero!

The last pic is of Kimberly and Don with Zoey.

It snowed today in TN!!

We haven't seen this much snow in years! It was so beautiful! Brody took Zoey out to play on the back deck then the boys had friends Brett and James over and they slid down the hill on skateboard decks and garbage bags and made a 5 ft. snowman! Zoey just kept saying COLD!!

Tyler and Zoey play the drums

Happy New Years!

We had a wonderful New Years. In almost 8 months Zoey has changed more than I ever could have imagined! She said "Happy Ewww Ear" for Happy New Years! She will try to say most anything you tell her to. She can point at pictures in books when you ask her to point at a certain object. A couple of months ago I showed her how to keep the covers on her when she got cold at night (and acted it out) and now she does it! When she wakes up she just plays by herself in her crib. The other day I was looking for my keys and she found them for me. She has to sleep with her blankie/bunny and has since day one but for Christmas Erica (Brody's girlfriend) gave her a prayer bunny and now she has to have it in her crib too! She calls the bunny "Amy" but she means AMEN since it says Amen after the prayer. School started back last Thursday and I miss the boys being home. We had several guest for New Years Eve and enjoyed them being here! I SO wish I'd taken pictures! Tyler got some recording equipment for Christmas so he can record his band's music right in to the laptop. He and Neighbor recorded 3 songs the other night and they sound awesome! Here is their myspace: (copy and paste) http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=297487324
You can go to his band's myspace from there too..Hwy. 31.. Placing the Blame is the newest one...it is "scream-o" music but has a nice story IF you can understand the words! ha! Tyler does 1/2 the vocals on Placing the Blame and guitar on the rest.
Brody just finished a skateboard video he did with Tyler and 2 friends. They are both doing well in the tech world! Now if they could just teach me!

Christmas 2007

We had a wonderful Christmas except for this nagging ulcer of mine. I've been drinking Mylanta and popping pills forever now but nothing seems to help! Urgh!! Everything went really well. Zoey loved her kitchen set, baby doll, tunnel and gifts from family. She use to not like to play with toys that much but now that is all she does! We also had 2 birthdays in the family. Brody turned 15 (and started looking for a job today) and Grandma Inman turned 80! They had a suprise party for her and 2 chocolate/strawberry cakes! Brody had a giant cookie for his cake! It was so nice to get to see everyone. I forgot my camera and the Hindman family get together on Christmas eve so I'll try to add some pics in of them later. Happy New Year everyone!!

Messy Marvin and I love my grandaddy!

Today Brody and Erica were fixing chocolate covered pretzels and Zoey started eating them before they were dry. She made a big mess! I just had to snap a picture of her!!

My parents took care of Zoey last week so Jeremy and I could go to our Sunday School class party. Zoey went to sleep in my dad's lap and he wouldn't move because he didn't want to wake her. I thought it was so sweet!

Deer and turkey, oh my!!

Yesterday Zoey was standing in the dining room and she yelled out "DEER"! We have seen a few already but it was so cool that Zoey was the one to notice it. This one was just right behind our deck. Later we saw 2 just a little ways from this one plus 7 turkeys. We saw about 12-15 turkeys on Thanksgiving day. It's strange to live just inside the city limits (the woods behind us start the county) and see wild animals right in our back yard. Now Zoey thinks she should be able to look out any window and see a deer!
